Standing Rock Solidarity - WPG #NODAPL

Information on this page is no longer updated.  Groups listed may no longer be operating.  Contact individual groups for current information.
About this page
There is a large amount of information available about the land and water defence efforts happening at Standing Rock, North Dakota.  This page provides links to just some of that information.  The focus is on basic, introductory information that shares the stories and priorities of the Standing Rock land and water protectors and ways to support their efforts.
Winnipeg-based Support
On November 4, 2016 the Manitoba Energy Justice Coalition held a very large community meeting for people to discuss and plan how to support the stand at Standing Rock.  Some of the results of that meeting are the coordinating efforts below.  We will post the efforts of other groups as we become aware of them.  See "Winnipeg Events" for one-time events.
*Note:  as of February, 2017 we cannot confirm the MEJC efforts listed below.  Please contact that organization directly for information.

#StandingRockSyllabus
Produced by the NYC Stands with Standing Rock Collective. 2016
Dozens of articles, visuals and a timeline related to the people and lands of Standing Rock and also those about the "broader historical, political, economic, and social context going back over 500 years to the first expeditions of Columbus, the founding of the United States on institutionalized slavery, private property, and dispossession, and the rise of global carbon supply and demand".
